Month: November 2014

The WSOP 2014 was historic for two reasons. First it was the first time in over 5 years the main event winner would win over $10,000,000 and the first time a Swede would win the tourney. The winners of the Main Event were:
1st: Martin Jacobson (Sweden) – $10,000,000
2nd: Felix Stephensen (Norway) – $5,145,968
3rd: Jorryt van Hoof (Netherlands) – $3,806,402

7th: Dan Sindelar (USA) – $1,235,862
8th: Bruno Politano (Brazil) – $947,077
9th: Mark Newhouse (USA) – $730,725
It was an exciting game with blinds at 800K/1.6M! What numbers. Martin Jacobson, 27, became the first Swede to win the event. He’s had previous cashes at the WSOP final tables career earnings over $4,000,000. He stated:
“It is surreal,” Jacobson said. “I have been so focused the past couple days. I felt comfortable and surprisingly calm. I don’t know, it just felt like it was meant to be.”
Formerly, Jacobson was a chef. He had taken time out from poker to develop and healthy fast food restaurant concept. He stated he was burnt out from poker. This was right before the Aussie Millions, but he went for the Aussie Millions anyway and was back in the excitement with love for the game.
Here is a recap of the final hand!!
